The short version
Mission San Jose is southeast Fremont, at the foot of Mission Peak. The 1797 mission and a small historic town center sit on Mission Blvd, and Interstate 680 runs along the east side. The homes range from 1950s single story tracts to 1980s planned communities to big hillside custom builds, and a lot of older homes have been rebuilt. Two homes a few streets apart can be very different, so the street matters more here than almost anywhere in Fremont.
PRICE SNAPSHOT · JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER 2026
Single family homes near the center of Mission San Jose sold for about $1,268 a square foot, up from about $1,243 over the same months of 2025.

What types of homes are in Mission San Jose?
Mostly single family, with some townhome communities and a smaller number of condos and apartments. Hillside areas like Mission Ranch and Cameron Hills have bigger lots and custom homes.
How big are the lots?
It depends on the street. Some planned communities sit on lots under 4,000 square feet, while hillside lots in areas like Mission Ranch and Cameron Hills can run past 10,000 square feet. Check the lot size on each listing rather than assuming.
Can I tear down and rebuild a bigger home?
Many owners do, but Fremont limits home size in established neighborhoods, including how big a second story can be compared to the first floor and how much of the lot a home can cover. If a rebuild is the plan, talk to the City of Fremont Planning Division before you buy.
Is there a historic district in Mission San Jose?
Yes. The City of Fremont has a Mission San Jose historic overlay and design guidelines around the old town center on Mission Blvd. Most single family homes are exempt from historic review unless they are listed historic resources, so check with the city for a specific address.
Does Mission San Jose have HOAs or Mello Roos?
Most single family streets do not have an HOA, while townhome and planned communities usually do. None of the City of Fremont’s 3 community facilities districts covers Mission San Jose. Still check the property tax bill and the preliminary title report for special taxes from other agencies.
How do I get to the Mission Peak trailhead?
The 2 main trailheads are the Stanford Avenue staging area at the east end of Stanford Ave off Mission Blvd, and the Ohlone College entrance at 43600 Mission Blvd. The round trip to the 2,520 foot summit is more than 6 miles.
How far is Mission San Jose from BART?
